How to Make Balsamic Braised Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides, turning frequently.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Remove excess oil from the skillet, reserving about 1 tbsp.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar and 3 tbsp honey. Bring to a simmer.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 45-60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped green onions before serving. Spoon the balsamic glaze over the chicken.
